Story Elements Introduction

Read the short story. Then find its character, setting and events. Circle, match, draw and write your ideas.

Ruby-Mae and the Missing Kite

On a breezy Saturday, Ruby-Mae took her bright red kite to the park. She ran across the grass, but the kite caught in a low tree. Ruby-Mae asked her friend Kai to help. Kai held the ladder while Ruby-Mae carefully reached up and freed the kite. Soon it soared high above them. They smiled and waved as it danced in the sky.
